On the tournament stage.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu looked at each other and shook their heads respectively, saying:
"We don't know who you are, and we won't accept this kind of match."
"Right!"
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, turned back to point at Leon, and said to the two of them:
"I am with him. Do you think there's anything untrustworthy about my words?"
"As long as you can beat me, this Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone will be yours. Besides that, I will guarantee your admission into the Shrek Academy Inner Court and give you the best treatment and resources in Shrek Academy."
"This?"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Dai Huabin's trio glanced toward the spectator stands. With people like Leon, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan there, Zhu Zhuqing's words could certainly be taken seriously.
Guaranteed admission to the Shrek Academy Inner Court along with the best treatment and resources was indeed very tempting to them.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing didn't look much older than them. How could the three of them not win against one person?
Dai Huabin hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Just you alone?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Seeing this, Dai Huabin turned his gaze toward Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie.
Zhu Lu looked a bit conflicted. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What... what exactly is your goal? Why are you making these bets?"
Cui Yajie, on the other hand, was full of excitement. To her, this was a deal with zero risk and huge rewards. If they had to fight, then so be it!
Take a gamble.
A bicycle becomes a motorcycle.
If they fail...
...a bicycle is still a bicycle.
Zhu Zhuqing said with a solemn expression, "My goal is clear: I simply don't want to see the marriage alliance between the Dai Family and the Zhu Family."
"That is all."
Dai Huabin turned to look at the other two and whispered, "She's alone, and her age seems similar to ours. At most, she's a Spirit Elder like me. The three of us working together is more than enough to defeat her!"
Cui Yajie nodded heavily and said:
"In the Freshman Competition, aside from Dean Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, our team is the strongest."
"Three against one, the advantage is mine."
"But..."
Zhu Lu was still somewhat hesitant. She looked at Dai Huabin and said, "If we lose, then we... we won't be able to be together."
After speaking, Zhu Lu looked toward Leon. Although they didn't know Leon, his appearance hadn't changed much after he activated his Divine Body Manifestation.
As teachers and students of Shrek Academy, they could still recognize that Leon was the person who had defeated God King Tang San's Divine Will and fought with that Clear Sky Clan expert today.
Dai Huabin's expression hardened as he said, "We won't lose. Even if she's a Spirit Ancestor, the three of us working together can defeat her!"
Zhu Lu hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.
Dai Huabin's face darkened as he shouted, "We accept this bet."
"Dai Huabin, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 32 attack system Battle Spirit Elder, please advise!"
"Cui Yajie, Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Fox, Level 26 control system Spirit Grandmaster, please advise!"
Seeing that Dai Huabin and Cui Yajie had already accepted the challenge, Zhu Lu could only brace herself and release her Martial Soul:
"Zhu Lu, Martial Soul: Hell Civet, Level 27 agility-attack system Spirit Grandmaster."
"Good!"
Zhu Zhuqing responded and immediately released her Martial Soul. Five Spirit Rings—black, black, black, black, and black—instantly lit up beneath her feet.
"Martial Soul: Hell Civet, Level 57 agility-attack system Spirit King."
The three of them:???
The previously confident trio of Dai Huabin, seeing the Martial Soul and Spirit Rings Zhu Zhuqing displayed and hearing her reported Soul Master Level, was instantly filled with questions.
Little question marks, are there many children in your head?
The spectator stands.
Seeing this scene, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy also stood up in shock, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
"Level 57 Spirit King?"
"Holy crap?"
"Am I dreaming? It's one thing for her to be so beautiful and have such a great figure, but she's actually a Level 57 Spirit King?"
"Never mind being a Level 57 Spirit King, she actually possesses five Spirit Rings that are all over ten thousand years old?"
"Even the actual Ancestor Zhu Zhuqing, the God of Speed from the Shrek Seven Devils, couldn't have possessed such terrifying talent at this age, right?"
"Terrifying!"
"How did she do it? I remember our Ancestor Yu Xiaogang from Shrek Academy said that Spirit Rings have a maximum age limit?"
"She's breaking our Ancestor Yu Xiaogang's Ten Major Spirit Theories!"
"Could this be the woman of a god?"
"What 'woman of a god'?"
Many people in the crowd instantly fell into confusion.
The person who spoke explained:
"I mean, this woman who looks so much like Ancestor Zhu Zhuqing, the God of Speed—isn't she that lord's woman?"
Hearing this, Everyone suddenly felt it made sense.
"Right!"
"That lord can defeat Lord Tang San's Divine Will. To be his woman, she naturally must be a super Genius."
"A Spirit King with five ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings—there's no way Dai Huabin's trio can win now."
"So powerful. Even our Shrek Academy's strongest Genius Eldest Senior Sister in hundreds of years doesn't have such a formidable Spirit Ring configuration."
"Don't forget, Eldest Senior Sister is also with that lord now."
There was much discussion on the field, with people occasionally stealing glances toward Leon and his group, their eyes filled with envy.
[Hu Liena: Dai Huabin: I want to check the cards!]
[Dugu Yan: Dai Huabin: The sky is falling, family. I'm about to lose my girlfriend.]
[Ning Rongrong: Zhu Lu: Deception, she is deceiving us!]
[Bai Chenxiang: Stop it, you guys. I feel like laughing just thinking about it. With a "cheat king" like Zhuqing appearing, Dai Huabin's trio must feel even more despair than Tang San!]
[Ma Xiaotao: Almost all the geniuses of the Douluo Continent World Two are in Shrek Academy, but compared to Ancestor Zhuqing, they all pale in comparison.]
[Number Nine: I'm just kidding. Five black Spirit Rings are nowhere near Zhuqing's limit. She also has the fully mastered Nine Yin Manual.]
[Liu Erlong: Zhuqing's strength is probably enough to fight a Spirit Saint. Only Rongrong should be able to defeat her now.]
[Ling Yuan: Hard to say. Zhuqing is an agility-attack system Soul Master. If she goes all out before Rongrong can stack her buffs, even Rongrong would find it hard to cope.]
[Bo Saixi: Rongrong should be able to. After all, she also obtained a Cultivation Technique. It's unlikely Zhuqing can finish it quickly, so once the fight starts and Rongrong stacks her defenses, Zhuqing probably won't be able to break through.]
[Xiao Wu: Zhuqing's Martial Soul Abilities are all Self-Created Martial Soul Abilities. Breaking through Rongrong's defense shouldn't be a problem, but defeating her would be very difficult.]
[Qian Renxue: It's hard for Zhuqing to defeat Rongrong, and just as hard for Rongrong to defeat Zhuqing. After all, Zhuqing is an agility-attack system Soul Master.]
[Huo Wu: I envy Zhuqing and Rongrong. They were the first women to get with Leon, and they've already pulled ahead of us by over twenty Levels of Spirit Power.]
[[Shui Yue'er: Envying them won't help. Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun are born Supremes. You know what I mean?]}],
